Canberra’s best businesses deserve backing. That’s why we exist.
Some of the nation’s boldest ideas, most innovative entrepreneurs and commercially successful businesses have come from Canberra.
For more than 20-years, we have worked closely with the local innovation community to provide investment pathways to commercialise, scale and grow businesses. Previously as Epicorp and ANU Connect ventures, we invested in more than 40 start-ups and secured 500 local jobs.
Now, as ACTivate Capital, we provide pre-seed, seed and series-A investment to help visionaries build exceptional companies.
More than just a VC fund
